Stiffness of modified Type 1a linear external skeletal fixators.
Modifications of a Type 1a external skeletal fixator (ESF) frame were evaluated by alternately placing transfixation pins on opposite sides of the connecting rod (Type 1a-MOD) or by placing additional connecting rods on either of the two inside (Type 1a-INSIDE) or two outside (Type 1a-OUTSIDE) transfixation pins. The objective of this study was to evaluate the stiffness of these modifications i...
متن کاملPin site care for preventing infections associated with external bone fixators and pins.
BACKGROUND Metal pins are used to apply skeletal traction or external fixation devices in the management of orthopaedic fractures. These pins protrude through the skin (described as 'percutaneous') and the way in which they are treated after insertion may affect the incidence of pin site infection. This review set out to summarise the evidence on the effect of pin site care on infection rates. ...
متن کاملImaging of fractures with external fixators using flexible cassettes.

We have used panoramic radiography products (Kodak Dental Products Catalog and Reference Guide 199 1). as used by dental surgeons for the mandible, to image fractures in some forms of external fixation (Fig. Ib). The range of products includes small films a...
متن کاملPostoperative Complications Associated with Biomaterials Used in Hernioplasty
POSTOPERATIVE COMPLICATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH BIOMATERIALS USED IN HERNIOPLASTY (Abstract): Meshes of synthetic material are now being widely used to repair hernias (hernioplasty) but biomaterial-associated infections constitute a major clinical problem. The success of surgical repair of abdominal wall defects depends on the physico-chemical properties of biomaterials, their biocompatibility and ...
متن کاملThe role of external fixators in paediatric trauma.
We report a retrospective review of all paediatric trauma patients managed with an external fixator admitted to our institution over a 7-year period. We identified 30 fractures in 28 children. The fractures included 20 tibiae, 5 femurs, 2 humerii, 2 radii and 1 phalanx. The indications were 23 open fractures, 4 comminuted fractures and 3 closed fractures in poly-traumatised patients. It was the...
